OP TO EDITOR WftLUGE TO EXPLftlN. REV. COKE 0. MANN MSES TO CORHECT THE "HISTORY" BY MH. WALLAC '.. To the Editor of the News and Courier : The News and Courier of Saturday morning, February 9, had a short communication in it copied from the Newberry Observer, which I want to auswer iu your paper. Some things which the gentleman states aro true, while many of them have not the semblance of truth in them. First. He says I was MI ardent admirer and supporter of Senator Tillman in 1890. I was not in New berry in 1890. I was living in Edge field county, on the Saluda oirouit that year. I was in Newberry in 1891 and 1892. 1 voted for Senator Tillman in 1892. This I do not deny. Second : "So ardent a Tillmanite was Mr. Mann at that time (1800) that he fell out with the anti-Tillmaulte town of Newberry and said some right hard things about the town people." Who were the people I said the hard tl iur?s about? It was low down scoundrels who had libelled me, and nobody knows this better than the author of the squib that was copied in Saturday's ' News and Courier. Third. He says : "Ho influenced the members of the ohurohoB of his circuit, or tho trus tees of ohurch property, to sell their parsonage in town - tho placo now owned by Mra. Willie Ruff, on Boun dary street, adjoining tho Boundary Street Behool-and to buy a piece of land two or three miles from town, upon whioh tho parsonago was to be built." This, I say, is absolutely false, and I ask bim to tell from whom I bought the piece of land. Tho Bale of the Mothodist circuit parsonage, in tho town of Newberry, had no politics in it. It ?was sold for division of tho property belonging to the Prospority oirouit, which was one-half of the old Newberry circuit, set ol? two years before by the South Carolina conference, in 1890, at Anderson, S. C. If there is any further dispute about this I ask the publio to ask the ofQoial board on the Newberry oircuit if what I have written in not true. In conclusion, if I am not very ranch mistaken I have as many true friends in Newberry county and town as the writer of the article re ferred to. I am the same Mr. Mann, exercising my constitutional right on all privileged questions. My friend will have to go to the records and search for other data, for what he has stated in reference to my action in regard to the sale of the circuit parsonago is not true. Men ought to know what they are saying before they speak or write about men. Thinking that this will bc suffi cient, I am as ever, The Same Mr. Mann. Chronic Constipation Cured.

Mann Replies. To the Kditor of The State: I saw in the Slate one day last week | that H citizen of Oconee county is i really exorcised over my uot voting i for the senior Senator to succeed I himself in the United States Senate. 1 Ile intim?tes that I have committed 1 perjury in not voting for the senior ! Senator. I much prefer to ezeroise I my constitutional rights in measures of this kind aod not have men wr J . are biased in their judgment to dio- i tate to me as to how I shall act in mattera of this kind. I am over 50 years of age and have been in publio life for 85 years and have never yet seen the wisdom oi necessity of ask ing anyone how I should aot on privilege questions. I c -PO, how ever, that it is neoessar., ra some in stances for some men* to be diotated to in mattera of this kind, as it is evident they have to be told what to do, and when told they aot right or wrong. Now the difference in suoh men and myself is that I have some independence of oharaoter and real ize my individuality and personal responsibility to the God who made me, while it seems they do not. Oh, that some men were better informed SP to their personal rights and privi leges! They assume rights when they have nono. A free press and free speech are the paladin of oivil and religious liberties and anyone who is so narrow and contracted in his general make up as not to want others to ezeroise their prerogatives is as contemptible and mean as be is little in the eyes of all fair-minded people. So far as I am oonoerned in not voting for the senior Senator, it bas not given me one moment of concern. Whereas if I had done so it would have haunted me by day and by night the remainder of my life. Fools, you know, hold carni vals where wise men and angels would dare not tread. The laws of the State have wisely provided for all olasses of ber oitizens. If a man is a lunatio be should be sent to tho State asylum ; if idiot, to the alms house ; if a oriminal, to the chain gang or penitentiary, according to tbe turpitude of his orime. No man has any moral or legal right to raise this question ezoept the senior Senator. If he will challenge my reasons and prove that they are not well founded I will do as he did in the United States Senate when he attempted to be funny. Now, will not other people keep their mouths out of this matter, as it is up to the senior Senator to disolose and prove what I oharge is not true. I am responsible for what I have done. Now, in the language of that fearless and patriotic statesman, Patrick Henry, if that be treason then let them make the most of it. Coke D. Mann. Columbia, February ll, 1907.

The ex-directors of the State <iin ponsary held a meeting yesterday ?nd thus put themselves on record is believing that tboy have not yet been ejected from the office of trust From which they had been removed by the order of thu Governor of the State aoting upon the suggestion of the General Assembly by unanimous vote. The direotors met by virtue of a rule to sbow'oause issued by Judge Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, and served upon Governor Ansel before Governor Ansel's order of eviotion and dispossession had been served upon the members of the board or their attorneys. W. T. Aycock, attorney for Jodie M. Rawlinson, ohairman of the board, said yesterday that the meet ing of the board waa perfectly natu ra!. They make the point that they have been deprived of the profita of and emoluments of their office and they do not wish to be put in the position of making a fight on purely academic grounds. All that they seek is the restitution of their honor. Tbey oare naught for the position per so. Governor Ansel had nothing to say yesterday on this proposition, but he is thinking. On all occasion., he smiles. There is a pleasant ur banity in his attitude at all times, and he never acts hurriedly. He does his thinking in the early morn ing between 6 and 7 o'clock. When all is quiet and reposeful, he delibe rates carefully over the program for the day and when tbe time for action comes ho is ready-and immovable, as be has been in this oase. Attorney General Lyon seemed to attach little importance to tho ruling of Judge Jones. In the case of Cantwell, from Charleston county, the Supreme Court has held that it will not discuss hypothetical or speculative oases. And as the local option bill has passed both Houses and Governor Ansel in all proba bility will have signed it by next Tuesday, Mr. Lyon thinks that this will then have become a speculative ease, one with whioh the Supreme Court will not care to bother itself. The action of Judge Jones caused more comment in the General As sembly than anywhere else and in the Senate last night Senator Gray don offered a joint resolution con firming the action of the Governor and thereby shutting oil any further controversy. Some think that this board hopes to prove the local option bill uncon stitutional and thereafter to try to prove its "rights" and to come baok into office. Senator Graydon's resolution reads : "He it enacted by the Senate, the House of Representatives concur ring: ''Section 1. That the office of the board of directors of the State dis pensary be, and tho samo is hereby abolished. "Sec. 2. That this act shall go into effect immediately upon its approval by the Governor."

Washington, Fob. 19.-More than thirteen million men in the United States are available for military ser vioe, according to the report of the Military Secretary of the army con cerning the militia, which baa jost been mado public Of this number 112,890 men are organised is State militia and ready for immediate duty. New York leads the list in the number of men available for duty, having 1,894,000 suuli citizens. Ohio is second with 1,086,110. Illinois comes third with 1,084,559 and Pennsylvania fourth with 1,017,000. In the aggregate strength of its organized militia New York leads with 14,711 and Pennsylvania is next with 9,886. Illinois is third with 6,613. Inspecting officers urge larger appropriations and better equipment for the militia. Major John A. Dapray, United States army, in speaking of conditions in Florida, BAys : "As a part of a general plan for the protection of militiamen against the unpatriotic and unsympathetic people in mercantile life it is sug gested that all the States be enjoined by the Federal goverumont to pass laws guarding the members of the organized militia against interference or discrimination ou account of their connection with the militia. It should be made unlawful for any per son or class of persons to interfere with the right of a citizen to perform military duty when legally called upon by the State."

Dickson, who now holds a posi tion with the State dispensary, are anxious that he should be made one of the commissioners who are to be appointed by Governor Ansel to dis pose of the stock of whiskey held by the State dispensary. Mr. Dickson was born and raised in this county, and is spoken of in the highest terras by every one who knows him. Although an employee at the dispensary he has kept his hands clean, and has, when an oppor tunity presented, condom nod the me thods pursued by those in authority. Mr. Dickson can secure a splendid endorsement in this city and county. -Anderson Intelligencer, Feb. 15th. ... ju '.

It is nerve force that causes the brain to direct the motion of your body ; it is nerve force that causes your heart to pulsate, and send the blood through your vejns; it is nerve force that causes your stomach to digest food., your kidneys to filter the blood, and the liver to secrete bile. In fact, nerve force is the power that runs your body", so if you feel worn-out, irritable, nervous, cannot sleep, or eat well, have pain or misery anywhere, your nerves are weak, and your system run down. To restore this vitality take Dr. Miles' Nervine which will strengthen and build up the nerves. You cannot be healthy without strong nerves. "For eighteen years Dr. Mites* Nervine and Antl-Paln Pills have been my close companions. Early In mar ried life, while raising- children, my nerves became all worn-out-could not Hleep; had no appetite; indigestion very bad, and had such awful dlz?y .?pells. Then I bogan using Dr. Milos' Isorvlno, and at once I began to im prove, and soon found myself In perfect health." MRS. S. 1?. YOUNO, 324 Pittsburg St., New Castle, Pa.
